Description

Boule is Python library for representing Reference Ellipsoids and calculating their gravity fields.

The main use cases are:

  • Calculating normal gravity (for gravity anomalies and disturbances).
  • Spherical gravity modelling, which requires geodetic to geocentric spherical coordinate conversions.
  • Input ellipsoid parameters for spherical harmonic analysis.

Boule is French for "ball" and also a traditional shape of bread resembling a squashed ball (much like the Earth).
